Campus tour departs from Wallis Hall
Wallis Hall
Built in 1957 as the administration building, this was the first time in the University's then 107-year existence that a separate building was provided for the administration. Previously, administrative offices were housed in other academic and residential facilities. The administration building was renamed in 1998 as Wallis Hall for W. Allen Wallis, the sixth president of the University of Rochester.
Wallis Hall, a red brick structure in the Greek revival style, faces the Genesee River from its location on Wilson Boulevard. The building houses University administration offices, the admissions office, public relations, and human resources offices.
